If it sucks, you might be watching too many documentaries on Black Holes. Or you just have an

However, it does appear a lot of things have been dumbed down for the stupidity of our current world. Take a lot of the remakes of Looney Toons, for instance. People don't know that Wile E. Coyote is dropping anvils on Road Runner is for pure comedy and that they shouldn't actually try that in real life, so they have to make stupid humor for stupid people. [They've done this in literature, too. A lot of school libraries have banned Shel Silverstein and Dr. Seuss for promoting general stupidity].
Have you ever heard of the old television show,
The Three Stooges? My dad, sister and I used to watch that show
a lot together. And then, they recently came out with a movie based off of that show, but with a more modern twist and whatnot. And there was not a
single food fight.
The Three Stooges' reputation on food fights in the actual shows were amazingly entertaining. And then, because of stupid people and the uncommonness of common sense, they had to include a little clip at the end of the new movie, just before the staff roll, explaining that whacking people on the head with hammers was not a safe thing to do. I know this is regarding a movie, but it's the same thing for a lot of things--especially for children's shows. *coughSpongebobcough*
Not only that, but a lot of television series start going downhill after the scriptwriters begin to run out of ideas, and as the actors get themselves into trouble *coughCharlieSheencough*. The best time for a series is after it just takes off and the characters' roles are established. "I guess you could say that...
Two and a Half Men really lost its..." *puts on shades* "Sheen." No, but that really applies to anything on television, not just sitcoms like that. I'm glad the show
Everybody Loves Raymond ended when it did, because the actor who played the role of Frank Borone--Peter Boyle--passed away shortly after, and the show would have just deteriorated without him, as his role was one of the funniest in that series.
But, back to black hole documentaries... documentaries can be some of the only legitimately good things on television now. Especially when you have random guys interjecting: "I'm not saying it was aliens, but it was aliens!" Except, National Geographic seems to play more things related to drugs than science anymore, so meh. Yeah, there's a show called
American Greed on MSNBC, and there's a show called
American Weed on NatGeo. What has the world come to?
It's just because
humanity is suffering an onslaught of the stupidity plague and the species is too... ignorant... to try to correct it.
